Answer:

20g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Quantity of heat  = 240calories

Initial temperature  = 80°C

Final temperature  = 68°C

Unknown:

Mass of water = ?

Solution;

To solve this problem, we use the expression:

         Q  = m c (t₂  - t₁)

Q is the quantity of heat

m is the mass

c is the specific heat = 1 cal/g°C

t₂ is the final temperature

t₁ is the initial temperature

  Insert the parameters and solve;

  Change in temperature is an absolute value

          240 = m x 1 x (68 - 80)

           m  = 20g

What happens to the volume of a loaf of bread that is squeezed? The mass? The density?
nalin [4]

Explanation:

The volume of the bread decreases, making the bread appear more compact, and smaller in size. The mass stays the same, it won't change unless part of the bread is removed. The density increases, the air bubbles inside of the bread get squished down, causing the bread to be smaller, and in turn, causing it to be more solid.

I hope this helped!

Thanks!

Why is Energy not created nor destroyed?<br> (Need the answer ASAP!!)
eduard

Since both heat and work can be measured and quantified, this is the same as saying that any change in the energy of a system must result in a corresponding change in the energy of the surroundings outside the system. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed.
